Preheat the oven broiler to high, and arrange a rack in the middle of the oven.
Chop the artichoke hearts.
Drain the Spinach
Place the frozen block of spinach into a fine-mesh sieve. Run cold water over the spinach until it has completely thawed. Or you can place it into a bowl and put it in the fridge overnight. Just make sure it’s completely thawed. Move the spinach to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture from the spinach as possible.
Make the Dip
Add the cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, artichoke hearts, parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and drained spinach to a medium bowl.
Stir well until combined.
Make the Crostini
Slice the baguette bread into ½ inch slices at an angle, and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Spread a small amount of mixture onto each slice of bread, all the way to the edges.
Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
Finish with a little bit of sea salt and freshly cracked pepper.
Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
Make sure to squeeze out as much water from the spinach as possible before using it in the recipe. You don’t want the dip to be watery which would make the crostini soggy.Try experimenting with different types of bread to see which you prefer. French bread or sourdough bread both pair well with the spinach artichoke flavors.Adjust the amount of garlic powder or other seasonings to your personal taste. If you prefer a more garlicky flavor, add a little extra garlic powder.
